I came across this in some code someone else
wrote. It compiles with the J2SDK 1.3 javac.exe compiler
but not with some other compilers (such as jikes)
and I think it is illegal Java syntax, as per
my interpretation of the JLS.

public class CastOrStaticMethod
{
  public static void main(String argv[])
  {
    System.out.println( (Integer).toString(123) );
  }
}

This should of course be Integer.toString(123)
but javac accepts it.
